The sky in the SF Bay Area is full of smog and the moon (you can't see it well in the picture, with your bare eyes you can though) is a weird orange/yellow Colour. also the smog is so bad that my throat got irritated. What the fuck is going on? There's no alerts or anything.
The news isn't reporting this. I also fainted today because of the fucking smog.
>smog all over
>yesterday around 5 am I saw a band of lights blinking in weird coordination

excessive heat warning in effect for your area
>>19528515
It's from all the massive wildfires burning in Oregon. The moon turns blood red here from all the smoke.

We're just having a heatwave. It's humid and shitty by the Bay right now.
>>19528553
hasn't that shit been burning for months
>>19528572
We're just getting more large fires than usual because it hasn't rained here in months. If lightening strikes in some areas right now, the resulting fire isn't going to be put out until November.

Not smog dude thats smoke, as in forest fire smoke. Check the AQI index for the area.

If the area doesn't get well ventilated (i.e. Sea breeze), the air gets stagnant and the smoke and haze just stay in one place. We were getting it in Seattle for awhile.

maybe hit up /sci/ before you post threads like these.

To be fair, the more reasonable-minded people on /x/ like to jump to the scientific explanations first anyway. If you can eliminate the scientific reasons, then you actually have something. So, it does mean that /x/philes are pretty useful for this kind of stuff.
OP here, I live in the South Bay (Sunnyvale/San Jose) Area, so I don't live near the ocean
It's smoke and they have been reporting it.
On another note, it was 30 degrees above normal temperature where I live in California today.

Maybe don't be such a dick?

Moon is hanging low in the sky, gets refracted from particles in the air.
It's not smog. I'm in chicago and it's the same color. It's going to be the same color everywhere, smog or not. The sun doesn't get red at the sunset because of smog, for example.
Just to head it off, I'm not saying smog isn't an issue. But the moon being orange/getting red isn't because of smog.

Shit, wait, i forgot, this is /x/
The moon is orange because of...ghosts.
>>19528520
smoke from a bunch of wildfires anon
>>19528616
That guys knows it's a fire and not a flood, right?
